Let's hope she's still alive. :bawling:

arista 02-10-2012 04:01 PM

And the 46 year old
has not been charged and could be let go.

Of course.


But the police know more than they are saying
if it is a Peado ring
you must be ready for the worst.

I just hope they've arrested the right person and that they can find April alive, this is a horrible story - so soon after the Tia Sharp case too - I really hope this has a happy ending...

Yes they will find out
or let him go.



Yes a happy ending sounds great

Oh no :( Doesn't seem like there will be a good outcome to this then :(

Vanessa 02-10-2012 05:26 PM

Omg! This does not sound good at all! :eek::eek::eek:

Ithinkiloveyoutoo 02-10-2012 05:30 PM

Why god..just why? Why can't those people that have sick sexual fascination towards children just die?

bbfan1991 02-10-2012 05:39 PM

I hope that April Jones is found alive and well soon:). I am still shocked at how she was playing outside in the dark at that time though?

A 46 year old man has been arrested then, although the Police so far are clearly not willing to share certain information as they follow up lines of enquiry.

No its normal to do that in this area
for checking cars, vans and places.



The 46 year old is a local
if they let him go
will he be able to be free?


Someone will leak his name

No they are that way forever , it seems.
But this has been going on before we were all born.

Jarrod 02-10-2012 05:50 PM

Machynlleth isn't far from me. It's the talk of the county atm. Hope they find her

Livia 02-10-2012 05:56 PM

They've arrested him for a reason. If the police think that he knows something I'd like to hope they're going to work on him with sodium pentothal and a pair of pliers.

lostalex 02-10-2012 06:03 PM

you never hear about homosexual parents losing their kids... just saying... (j/k)

Hang On.


He is Local and has a Van


You sound like a Episode of 24

Novo 02-10-2012 06:06 PM

I doubt they have arrested him just for being a local and having a van there is obviously more to it then that

Yeah, well... a little extreme I'll admit. But we're talking about a five year old child. I hardly think they arrested this chap for his conversational skills. Okay, not the pliers... just the sodium pentothol.

I am sure they will get something from him
as if they let him go
the Locals will Kill him,
even if he is not guilty.

GypsyGoth 02-10-2012 06:24 PM

arista 02-10-2012 07:02 PM

The 46 year old local is Mark Bridger

So Ch4News just told us.

Shaun 02-10-2012 07:03 PM

I don't wish to be morbid but when was the last time a child went missing (on the national news coverage) and turned up safe and well :(

Other than Shannon Matthews (which obviously is completely different) I agree....it's very worrying. The arrest is more worrying to as they knew who they were looking for but they haven't found her yet....

Absolutely

Nedusa 02-10-2012 07:18 PM

I hope for the best but fear the worst, the arrest was probably standard procedure in these cases, probably the local sex offender who owns a van. He would be the first one brought in. Or a family "friend" with a grudge.

What worries me is they have called off the search for the evening on the grounds that they are going to use specialist heat sensitive equipment and they do not want the public giving confusing images. So maybe they think she is still alive but lost wounded or in shock somewhere in woodland.

Lets hope this little girl is found alive...!!!

Because you've got some idiots that believe they can change them, or that we are just as bad as the paedophile for wanting the paedophile to die.

Anyway the parents were idiots for leaving her out so late, and I hope the 5 year old girl is found safe and that the parents learn from there mistake.

So Ch4News just told us.

It says on the site that they have also recovered the vehicle. Link to news item

Quote:

Sources confirm that police have arrested Mark Bridger, aged 46, in connection with the disappearance of five-year-old April Jones. Police have also recovered the vehicle they were looking for.

Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan, from Dyfed Powys Police, said a man had been arrested in the Machynlleth area, late afternoon.

Mr Bevan said: "Within the last hour we have arrested a 46-year-old male from the Machynlleth area who is being detained at Aberystwyth police station.

"We made the arrest just outside Machynlleth and we are hopeful that this individual will assist us in locating April, who is still missing.

"We are still pursuing all lines of inquiry with a view that April is still alive and we will continue to do so until we find her."

In interviews after the press conference, Mr Bevan said that the arrested man lived locally and had a vehicle similar to the one described by those who witnessed April's abduction.

"We knew he was in the area, we've been anxious to trace him and speak to him," he said. The man was arrested a couple of miles outside Machynlleth, while he was on foot, and his vehicle has now been recovered.

Mr Bevan said: "He was on foot, he was walking on the side of the road and he was detained by officers and taken into custody.

"Officers have now recovered his vehicle, that was found in the Machynlleth area."

Volunteers

Ten search teams have been combing the area around Machynlleth, Wales where the five-year-old was spotted "willingly" getting into a light-coloured van. Mountain search experts have been leading volunteers.

Volunteers took a day off work and drove from far away towns to find the little girl, missing since 7pm on Monday. Police were appealing for nearby business owners and neighbours who may have CCTV footage to come forward.

Hundreds crammed the town's community centre on Tuesday afternoon waiting to be deployed. They were being grouped into 20s and assigned a mountain rescue expert due to the nature of the harsh terrain around Machynlleth. Police dog teams were also deployed.

A family friend said April, her sister and their mother Coral had just returned from the girls' school when April's mother went inside to make tea. 10 minutes later, he said, April was missing.

She is believed to have entered a light- or grey-colour van on the driver's side of the vehicle, which police say may be a Land Rover or Ford Connect, which is a van-sized vehicle with a smaller front and larger back.

"There's nothing to suggest at this stage there was a struggle when she got into the van," Det Superintendent Reg Bevan of Dyfed-Powys Police told reporters this afternoon. He said the family were understandably upset and they did not appear at the press conference.

"It must be their worst nightmare, as you'd expect," Det Superintendent Bevan said.

At the time of her disappearance, April was wearing a purple knee-length coat (see photo above) with grey fur around the hood, her school white polo top and black trousers.
Ten search teams are combing the area around Machynlleth, Wales where the five-year-old was spotted getting into a light-coloured van. Mountain search experts are leading 200 volunteers.

Anyone who was in the area around 7pm last night or who believes they have information is asked to contact police on 0300 2000 333

The local council suspended refuse and recycling collection in Machynlleth and closed the town's civic amenity centre so staff could could join the search. Locals gathered at Machynlleth leisure centre last night and again this morning as news of her disappearance spread on social network sites.

Hundreds of people have signed up to a dedicated page on Facebook - with users of the social networking site from all over the UK hoping to increase awareness of April's disappearance. Those joining the group are able to download a missing poster, featuring three photographs of the youngster, before sharing it on their profile.

Chris Dudley, who works at the Skinners Arms in Penrallt Street, said the pub was empty last night, with many of the locals joining the hunt.

"All the locals are looking for her in this area - the cemeteries, the golf field, playing field, everywhere you can think of," Mr Dudley said.

Det Superintendent Bevan said he hoped to have specific details about the vehicle later.

The town's mayor, Gareth Jones, said: "We're all rallying around."
Child protection experts called in

As of last night, experts from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) were drafted into help last night.

Charlie Hedges, manager for missing, abducted and kidnapped children for Ceop, said he was called at 11pm last night for help on the case and worked through the night.

"When the job first came in it was limited information about a five-year-old girl," he said, adding the situation was complicated by the age of the witnesses and the late hour April was taken.

"There are the challenges of how you interview a child to get the right information, and with the time of day. You can't interview them through the night."

He said: "The main thing to start off is the high-profile media response using the Child Rescue Alert system, encouraging people to give their information.

"But in the background there's an investigation ongoing looking at what has happened in the local area, evaluating the information, carrying out searches, examining CCTV.

"We are engaged in the investigation, we are pursuing some lines."
'Stunned and devastated'

Neighbours on the small estate have been expressing their shock today.

"The general feeling is one of disbelief, nobody can take it on board," said Mathew Harris, 22, who lives on the estate.

"I was born and grew up on this estate and remember what it was like as a kid. Everyone played with everyone else," he said.

"It's the same today. Kids play out together and everyone looks after everyone else. Somebody said that this estate once won an award as the safest in Powys.

The estate is surrounded on three sides by tree-covered hills and at the centre it has some open greens where the local children play.

Usually, the greens are considered so safe that unattended bicycles and balls are left lying on the grass.

Mr Harris said: "Every new family that comes to live here says what a great place it is to bring up kids. They can run free outside, riding bikes or playing football, without any trouble.

"What happened last night is unbelievable. Paul and Coral are loving parents and everyone is devastated for them."

the arrested man is known to the family,he is not a relative though,this explains why she got into the car so readily.
